Climate change brief: what WaterAid is calling for at COP24

Floods, droughts and unpredictable weather patterns exacerbated by climate change are already making it harder for people to get clean water and decent sanitation systems. These growing threats combined with rising temperatures also make it easier for some waterborne diseases, such as cholera, to spread.

Urgent action is needed to make sure that every community has a reliable and sustainable source of clean water and a climate resilient sanitation system. This will make poorer communities better able to adapt to their changing climate.
